91 Firebird formula

Ok I havent been here in a while, and i think i have finally decided to just move up to a 350 that was in this car as a step up from what i have. (they gave me the icky 305.) so now that ive decided that i want to stay with that. Now i have read the forums here, NJFBOA, LS1LT1, and LS1tech, i dont think my knowledge base is all that great for a solo motor swap. I was leaning towards a 350 TBI cause i have a 305 tbi i figure that it would just be easier to go from there. Although TPI has peeked my interest. I am not looking for anything much from this car its going to be my daily drive once i get it running again. I would like to have 350-375 i would love to be in the 400's but i dont think my budget will allow for that. To my knowledge the car is stock except a custom exhaust other than that i really dont know. I have also looked into a 383 stroker but i think that that is out of my price range and as of right now i dont know what my price range would be id say no more than 2800-3000 for right now. If you guys could give me a shuv in the right direction that would be awesome.
